A perfect specimen tree. Easy to grow deciduous tree that does not demand a lot of work from you. It is fast-growing and long-lived and tolerates most soil types.
For starters, this ornamental tree is compact enough to be planted almost anywhere and will be the focal point of your yard. And it's versatile since it can be pruned to create the size and shape that you desire for your particular space. Weeping Pussy Willow loves moist, almost soggy soil, making it the perfect choice for planting near your spring or pond. Best grown in zones 4-8.
Each year, in late winter or early spring, you will be greeted with soft-white catkins. Pussy Willows like full to partial sun and will reach 6-8' tall and 5-6' wide at maturity.
According to Wikipedia , the bushes that grow pussy willows (in both Europe and North America) contain salicin, which, when metabolised, turns into salicylic acid - which is toxic to cats. Deer, squirrels, and birds like to eat the branches of pussy willows.
